Tauranga Girl Geek Dinners Launch!

Sun, sea, sand and surfing is what Tauranga, NZ is all about! Surfing the web has also caught on and Tauranga’s IT industry is booming. In the sunny Bay of Plenty, Tauranga’s close-knit IT community has it’s fair share of Girl Geeks, so it was only natural that the Tauranga branch of Girl Geek Dinners would come to fruition. Our first dinner was on 27th November 2008 and was a great success, and our second dinner is Thursday 19th February – bring it on!

2nd Nova Girl Geek Dinner – Another Success

The second Northern Virginia Girl Geek Dinner on December 17, 2008 was another roaring success. Over 20 women braved the cold and winter holiday rush to attend a wonderful talk and discussion led by Julie Lerman, http://www.thedatafarm.com. Everyone shared their thoughts on professionalism in the work place, what makes women special in a technology field, and future focuses for WIT. Thank you to Julie for making the trip down from Vermont to share her experiences!

Julie Lerman

Many thanks also go to Viget Labs, http://www.viget.com, for hosting us at their office in Falls Church. It is a pleasure to work with such helpful and accommodating people who are interested in helping out the developer community.

Bay Area Girl Geek Dinner #3 with She’s Geeky!

Join us as we celebrate our one-year anniversary and kick-off the She’s Geeky unconference with a Bay Area Girl Geek Dinner on Thursday, January 29th, 2009 in Palo Alto.

For this Girl Geek Dinner, we are going “no-host” and asking everyone to chip in $20 for dinner at Ming’s in Palo Alto (off the 101 freeway in Palo Alto). You must buy your ticket online by 3PM on Tuesday, January 27th — NO WALK-INS. Doors open at 5:30pm and dinner starts at 6:30pm with your fellow Silicon Valley girl geeks!

The first 200 women to register will receive a shiny Bay Area Girl Geek Dinner mug! We have Girl Geek Dinner schwag for everyone, but are encouraging early registrations with nifty mugs — make your office co-workers jealous with your girl geek schwag!

Schedule:
5:30pm – 6:30pm: Check-in
6:30pm – 7:30pm: Dinner
7:30pm – 7:45pm: Introductions from women in tech groups represented
7:45pm – 9:30pm: Networking, including the opportunity to contribute ideas for She’s Geeky

Never been to an unconference or camp? This one provides an amazing opportunity to learn from a range of geeky women in a peer-to-peer participant driven event. Check out proposed She’s Geeky unconference topics on the wiki
and have the opportunity to contribute your own session ideas at the dinner.

What happens at a She’s Geeky unconference? Beginning at 9am each day, we start with a blank wall and create a multi-track conference agenda that is relevant and inspiring to everyone. Rooms are assigned to each topic and participants attend sessions they are interested in. Notes from each session are collected and a book is compiled with all the notes from the conference and distributed to everyone who attends. For a 3-minute peek at last year’s unconference, click here.

She’s Geeky (January 30-31, 2009 at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View) unconference tickets can be purchased for Friday or Saturday or both days. Join She’s Geeky Friday evening after the unconference for a showing of a film about Ada Lovelace, the “first programmer” according to Wikipedia.

Ο Robin Good στο 6ο GGD!

Ο Robin Good, ιδιοκτήτης της εταιρείας MasterNewMedia , είναι ένας από τους πιο σημαντικούς ανεξάρτητους web publishers, με κύριο αντικείμενο τα communication skills και τις νέες τεχνολογίες.

Η έδρα του βρίσκεται στην Ρώμη και πρόκειται για έναν από τους πιο πολυδιαβασμένους publishers (1 εκατομμύριο unique visitors κάθε μήνα στο καθημερινό περιοδικό του) αλλά και ένας σύμβουλος σε θέματα νέων τεχνολογιών, που ειδικεύεται στους τομείς του visual communication, online collaboration και επαγγελματικού web publishing.

Την εμπειρία, τη γνώση και το πρωτοποριακό όραμα του Robin έχουν εμπιστευθεί πολλές εταιρείες – από μικρές start-ups έως την Microsoft, ενώ ο ίδιος έχει κάνει διάφορα πράγματα στην καριέρα του, πάντα πάνω στις νέες τεχνολογίες.

Ωστόσο, αυτό που αποκαλεί “σημείο καμπής” στη ζωή του, ήταν η απόφασή του να ακολουθήσει επαγγελματική καριέρα κάνοντας blogging. Χάρη στην ικανότητά του να δοκιμάζει και να πειραματίζεται πριν από οποιονδήποτε άλλο, ο Robin κατάφερε να κάνει το πάθος του για νέες ανακαλύψεις, τρόπο ζωής και μία πολύ επιτυχημένη δουλειά.

Πρόσφατα, εγκαινίασε με μεγάλη επιτυχία το προσωπικό του online video channel POP, μέσω του οποίου δίνει συμβουλές σε online publishers.

Σύμφωνα με το βιογραφικό του, δεν συνηθίζει να ταξιδεύει και να κάνει ομιλίες, με δύο μόνο εξαιρέσεις: το Παγκόσμιο Συνέδριο LeWeb 08, τον Δεκέμβριο στο Παρίσι, όπου ήταν ένας από τους βασικούς ομιλητές, και το ελληνικό Girl Geek Dinner!

Η αγαπημένη του ατάκα “be smart, be independent, be good”, αντικατοπτρίζει το πάθος του για γνώση και την επιθυμία του να βοηθήσει όσους θέλουν να αποκτήσουν ανεξαρτησία μέσα από την έξυπνη χρήση των new media εργαλείων.

Can Videogames Change the World?

Thought this might be a fun event, and well within our sandbox.   Information Superhighway, which is a “monthly party gathering hackers, activists, artists, designers, nonprofits, startups, academics and general geekery to hang out and connect with one another” is hosting an event focused on “Games for Change.”  There will be a discussion on ways that [...]

The Inaugural Canberra Girl Geek Dinner is go!

Here’s the news you’ve all been waiting for … the inaugural Canberra Girl Geek Dinner has launched!

Date: Saturday, 21 February, 2009
Time: 7pm for a 7:30 start
Venue: Turkish Pide House, Jamison, in their private dining room.
RSVP: In the comments for this post – please remember to tell me your name and whether or not you will be coming with a guest

Because it’s the first one we’ve had, it’s an open mic night. No one has to stand up and talk, but it would be great to have a few of you tell us a little bit about yourselves and what you’re in to. I’ll also be giving you a little bit of a run down on the past, present and future of Girl Geek Dinners.

The night is intended to be relaxed and fun, with a technical focus. Anyone is welcome to attend, but guys need to make sure they have a girl to escort them.

We don’t have any sponsors yet, so unfortunately you have to pay for this one. The banquets come to around $20-25 a head, so please bring enough cash on the night to cover the food and whatever drinks you might have.

See you all there!

TGGD#10: The Role and Importance of Innovation in a Tough Economy

This is a guest post by Connie Crosby.

Our speaker/facilitator for the evening was Candice Faktor, Managing Director, Corporate Development and Innovation, TorStar Digital. Most recently, Candice was promoted to Managing Director, Corporate Development and Innovation where she is charged with fuelling innovation in the company and exploring acquisitions and partnerships to drive Torstar Digital’s growth and leadership in the industry. Candice was instrumental in the 2005 creation of Torstar Digital. Prior to this, Candice held the role of GM, toronto.com, one of Torstar Digital’s most prominent and trafficked consumer websites. She also played a key role in the foundation of several start-up ventures and partnerships including Olive Canada Network, which has become one of Canada’s most successful premium online ad networks.

Candice led us through some discussion, and gave us some solid examples both from her own experience and from other industries while inviting us to share our own experience. This session very much picked up where TGGD #9 roundtable in December left off.

We started off with a quick review of what people consider innovation to be, and then Candice took us through a warm-up exercise. Each table was given a regular drinking straw, and everyone was invited to share an innovative idea of what they could do with that straw. Ideas ranged the gamut from blowing bubbles to making an earring to learning how to circle breathe (something I had never heard of!). This showed us that, even with constraints, one can be very creative, and sometimes those constraints can even drive innovation.

She then took us through some stories of innovation during times of constraint. Among the stories that emerged:

• how her Torstar Digital endeavour was originally a minor player at Toronto Star, there were just two of them in a small office with barely any budget or readership, and over time they have found ways to make it a major part of the organization;
• the use of Open Source is rising as organizations seek alternatives to expensive systems;
• the Cheap Eats series of books came about when Alexa Clark left her job and was trying to find a project to do for 3-4 months until she found something else. Today it is a growing series of publications.

The last recession was in 2001; what emerged in 2001?

• Google
• first iPod in Oct 2001 – we had CD players and small mp3 players that held about 100 songs. It was a huge leap for Apple – 1000 songs and beautiful design. There was no clear leader in music player industry. 19 product innovations since the launch. They kept investing in the product. 2008 the iPod was apple’s top product, not their computers.
• Napster – 99 cents for a song – closed down in 2001 but left a mark on how we buy music

In times of cut-backs, you still have to invest in innovation. For example, Toronto.com was created in 2000; in 2001 they cut everything e.g. the link with the prominent Citysearch website in the U.S., and put it under newspaper leadership who did not understand. They have been playing catch up ever since. Meanwhile, for Workopolis which was also created in 2000, they kept investing. It is now the top Canadian job search site; US competitors have left the market.

What does it mean to be in technology and digital media today? The group seemed to agree things are different today than in past recessions:

• people can take things online, build podcasts and blogs online, take part in the market conversation
• investment still needs to be made in the projects
• Apple – now iTunes and app store are innovative ways to bring in money, even if they do not sell new iPods and computers
• people may go to the web because they are desperate but don’t necessarily understand it; the ones who do it well will stand out
• a lot of things are challenging conventional wisdom; the difficulty is figuring out whether you will get it right

Is it a good time to be in tech/digital media?

• yes, as far as setting the groundwork, but money is not good at this time
• transform or die – things are not going back – digital and technology are helping businesses to transform. It is a good time to be helping businesses transform.

According to industry statistics, only digital and gaming are growing (digital = Internet media and digital formats of traditional media eg. Tv, mobile)

Challenges we are facing:

• people want more for less – how can you offer more without spending money?
• organizations are behind the times
• companies don’t understand that they have to innovate to get ahead
• the expectation that everything is free (how do you bring in an income without breaking the trust you have built with your clients or audience?)
• finding a viable business model
• access to capital; currently there is little or no venture capital (VC) available, especially in Canada where the market is small
• traditional communications on their own are no longer working; how do you use a mix between traditional and new communications; how do you bridge that gap and find the right balance?
• gaining access to the right people (people senior enough, for example) to show them innovative ideas and have them acted upon so your ideas will really make a difference
• FEAR: it can be paralyzing; how do you move beyond fear of uncertainty, cut-backs, and the unknown? Defensiveness starts to kick in as a result of fear.

We came away from the evening with a sense of optimism and potential for the future. From the enthusiasm in the room, I also sense a feeling that people want to really find ways to support each other beyond just talking once a month at meetings. We seem to be gelling into a real community.

Thank you to our generous sponsor for the evening, FITC Conferences, providing conferences for those who work in the new media development and design field. All in attendance are being offered free admission to FITC Toronto 2009 April 25-28.

The Girl Geek Dinner Concept

First of all – thanks to all those who have already stopped by the blog, left comments, emailed me, or otherwise shown support for the idea. Wow!

The main point that has been raised so far is the issue of male attendees. Men are certainly allowed – and encouraged! – to come along to the dinners, all we ask is that you come at the invitation of a girl geek. Every girl geek can bring one friend with them. Remember also that it doesn’t have to be your partner or significant other, it can be a friend, workmate or anyone else who you think will enjoy the event.

Additionally, if there is anyone (of either gender!) out there who has something interesting to speak about, or who can help us out with some sponsorship, I’d love to hear from you!

In the meantime, keep checking back here, and letting me know about your ideas. I’ll be posting information about our inaugural dinner here very soon.

Why not jump along and check out our introduction on the Girl Geek Dinners website?
